The Sikh community of Rotorua city in New Zealand is helping out needy families in their neighborhood at this time of the need. The world is facing a pandemic as people stay inside their homes and have no means of livelihood.

“You wouldn't believe how many people need help,” Rotorua Sikh leader Gurinderpal Singh said.

The members of the community are distributing food packets to needy families between midday and 2pm.

Earlier this week, volunteer Paramdip Singh said the Sikh community had been delivering cooked food to the homeless and serving food at the temple prior to the nationwide lockdown.

“We were getting a lot of requests from our own community to do something as well, so we wanted to expand on that,” he said.

“Sikh Sangat New Zealand is the main contributor and has successfully held drives in Auckland as well.”

Meanwhile, the world is facing a pandemic and is in a lockdown. We hope that you are safe inside your homes and taking care of your health.
